NAIROBI: The LUMO Community Wildlife Conservancy, located in Taita-Taveta county in Southwest Kenya, is home to elephants, lions, buffaloes and antelopes, while also being a core target of poachers.
To monitor and protect the conservancy, 16 community rangers worked through day and night. The conservancy covers an area of 46,000 acres. Monitoring of the conservancy is a labor-intensive process and rangers can cover up to 40 km per day in their patrols.
Ernest Righa, one of the 16 community rangers tasked with monitoring and protecting the conservancy from poachers, told Xinhua that through the use of the spatial monitoring and reporting tool and Cyber Tracker mobile app, patrolling the expansive terrain is now much easier and more efficient.

PM Entertainment and the Art of Rip-offs With Razzmatazz


PM Entertainment and the Art of Rip-offs With Razzmatazz
Tom Jolliffe takes a look back at 90’s video action specialists PM Entertainment and a penchant for enjoyable knock offs…
I’ve oft shared my fondness for the work of PM Entertainment, headed by Joseph Merhi and Richard Pepin. Their company were prolific through the 90’s in producing straight to cable/video movies (predominantly action) that seemed to inject a scale to the carnage that belied their meagre budgets. Even as low as the budgets may have been, eventually there came a time when the business wasn’t sustainable and they folded in 2002 (much to the chagrin of some devoted fans).
